OPENING: OCTOBER 23
CLOSING: NOVEMBER 19
When a serial killer frightens Ella’s small hometown of Vero Beach, Florida, she’s called down from FBI headquarters in Washington D.C. to come help. At home, she’s confronted by the life she left behind: her struggling family and the dark events of her childhood. A play that explores how lost souls manage their fear, and their desperate search for a way to survive in a world that threatens their existence.

MUD CITY
WRITTEN BY Artistic Director Michael Patrick Thornton
OPENING: JUNE 01
CLOSING:
MUD CITY is a ten episode radio drama and the largest collaboration in Gift history. The year is 1940, and Lacey McGill—once Mud City’s most fearsome journalist, now a hard-drinking, down-on-her-luck private eye—finally gets a crack in the case surrounding the disappearance of her daughter four years ago. In a crooked city of mob bosses, business tycoons, and secret clubs, Lacey McGill and her best friend Narrator go against them all to answer a call to an adventure that changes everything.
